The elderly men on either side of Silver Moon Douluo felt at once that something was wrong.
They hurriedly signaled her with their eyes, telling her not to go too far.
They did mean to put him in his place, but not like this.
"A mere Soul King, what right do you have to challenge me?"
Silver Moon Douluo missed their hints entirely and carried on as she pleased, nearly laughing her teeth out at Yu Longyue's words.
Yu Longyue immediately activated Martial Soul Possession. Four black Soul Rings and one purple-blue-red Soul Ring appeared, making everyone around him retreat again and again.
"Hm?"
Silver Moon Douluo was also stunned for a moment when she saw Yu Longyue's purple-blue-red Soul Ring.
What kind of Soul Ring was that?
Yu Longyue stomped his right foot down with a boom.
The whole of Shrek Academy began to shake violently, and countless cracks spread across the ground beneath his feet.
A pair of dragon wings that blotted out the sky grew from Yu Longyue's back, and dense bursts of lightning erupted all around him.
His opponent was a Titled Douluo. He couldn't hold back.
He decisively used the Golden Dragon King's power. An immensely dense tide of Qi and blood spread from his body, and a deep dragon roar rang out. Everyone present felt their Martial Souls being suppressed, and their expressions changed slightly.
"Impressive, junior." Silver Moon Douluo felt an invisible pressure too. Narrowing her eyes, she said, "The Yu Family's little prodigy really does have some ability. No wonder you dare to look down on Shrek."
"Today, in your father's stead, I'll teach you the consequences of disrespecting your elders."
Silver Moon Douluo swept her sleeve and, disregarding her status as an elder, struck first to put pressure on him.
The power of a Titled Douluo surged at him from all sides. Yu Longyue's body stiffened, as though he had fallen tens of thousands of meters into the deep sea, where the pressure threatened to crush his entire body.
But Yu Longyue merely swayed and was hardly affected. He used his first, second, and third Soul Skills at once, along with the Golden Dragon King's first skill.
Thunder Dragon Claw, Thunderous Might, True Dragon's True Form, Golden Dragon Body.
The moment he used True Dragon's True Form, deep blue lightning swept toward Silver Moon Douluo like a tornado.
He had actually ignored a Titled Douluo's oppressive might?
What she didn't know was that Yu Longyue had sparred with Uncle Song, a Titled Douluo, ever since he was little. He had long since grown used to oppressive might and the like.
Otherwise, his Spiritual Power wouldn't have grown so quickly.
Silver Moon Douluo swept out a hand and forcibly dispersed the lightning tornado with brute strength.
But her hand was somewhat numb, and arcs of lightning were still leaping across it, boring into her body like little worms. After only a moment of contact, that terrifying, violent force swiftly destroyed her protective Soul Power.
This brat's lightning attribute was extraordinary. Was she actually having some difficulty dealing with it?
Silver Moon Douluo knitted her brows.
By rights, she should have been able to deal with this junior easily without even releasing her Martial Soul.
Yet under the effect of True Dragon's True Form, Silver Moon Douluo's vision was suddenly filled by a Thunder Dragon roaring loud enough to shake the heavens.
This is bad.
Am I actually being suppressed by him?
This junior's Spiritual Power is considerable!
Yu Longyue slowly raised both hands. The air around him began to crackle, and the power of lightning within him gathered in his palms like an awakened dragon, forming a dazzling ball of lightning.
The ball gradually changed shape, finally condensing into a spear made of lightning.
Violent arcs flashed across the lightning spear's surface, while currents slithered like snakes around its tip, radiating a power that made hearts tremble.
"A Self-Created Soul Skill?" Seeing this, the other elderly men couldn't help changing their impression of Yu Longyue somewhat.
Yu Longyue hurled the lightning spear at Silver Moon Douluo. It traced a deep blue path through the air, whistling as it flew straight at her.
Silver Moon Douluo initially paid the spear little heed, thinking it an ordinary attack. Only when it drew close did she feel the power it contained.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she realized that this power far exceeded her expectations.
Her gaze sharpened, and her presence began to rise steadily. A powerful oppressive might radiated from her body.
Beneath her feet, nine Soul Rings appeared one by one: purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red. The nine rings circled around her.
The shock wave from releasing her Martial Soul caused the power of lightning in the spear to gradually vanish, dissipating into the air.
"Elder Cai has kicked an iron plate this time. The junior she looked down on most forced her to release her Martial Soul. She must have lost a great deal of face," the other elderly men said, shaking their heads.
"This brat's lightning attribute is extraordinary. If she took it head-on, her old bones wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Bastard! Are you trying to destroy this place?" Silver Moon Douluo shouted angrily after neutralizing the lightning spear. But when her gaze fell on Yu Longyue, she froze.
Yu Longyue's fifth Soul Ring, the purple-blue-red one, had lit up...
The atmosphere across the entire grounds changed in an instant. Dark clouds filled the sky and thunder rumbled, as though heaven and earth themselves were responding to his power.
Purple-blue-red light blazed forth like a bolt of lightning tearing across the sky, engulfing the entire assessment grounds in a sea of lightning.
The elderly men's eyelids twitched several times at the sight. They all activated Martial Soul Possession, revealing their nine rings, and raised their hands to surround the lightning domain with a protective barrier, lest the students present be caught in it.
"A domain-type Soul Skill!"
The Thunder Dragon Soul Spirit inside Yu Longyue also spoke:
"This bastard has gone too far! I'll help you!"
Fifth Soul Skill: Thunder Dragon King Domain.
Within the domain, all lightning evolved to the level of heavenly lightning. His own lightning attribute increased by one thousand percent, his opponent's lightning resistance decreased by ten percent, and his attacks were guaranteed to hit.
Within this domain, Yu Longyue's power grew tremendously, and his body changed as well. His clothes tore apart, replaced by an enormous dragon body covered in purple-blue scales. His frame rapidly expanded until he became a giant lightning dragon at least twenty meters long.
Every scale on the lightning dragon flashed with the light of lightning, violent arcs circled its body, and its eyes were like two enormous balls of lightning, shining with a light no one dared look at directly.
Thunder rumbled constantly in the dragon's mouth, as though it could spew lightning that would destroy everything at any moment.
Everyone present was dumbstruck. They had never seen such a spectacular sight.
Even Silver Moon Douluo couldn't help being shocked by the power Yu Longyue had displayed.
"Dragon-Transformation!"
Silver Moon Douluo uttered the words, dumbfounded.
A Five-Ring Soul King had actually cultivated Dragon Transformation to this extent?
It was no different from a Martial Soul Avatar.
After judging carefully, she concluded that in this form, Yu Longyue could defeat even a Soul Emperor wearing Two-Word Battle Armor.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation, as well as the terror of his fifth Soul Ring.
It was a domain Soul Skill, and at the very least, it was an effect granted by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had really been willing to give him one.
The lightning dragon moved through the heavenly lightning domain, each movement accompanied by thunder and flashes of lightning. The entire assessment grounds seemed to have become a battlefield of lightning.
The sight made the students outside twitch at the corners of their mouths.
"Is he really the same age as us?"
Even the slightest touch of that terrifying heavenly lightning would be unpleasant.
"Elder Cai, if you don't act soon, this place is going to be destroyed. His lightning attribute is extraordinary," the other elderly men hurriedly said.
"Who knew this little prodigy really was so heaven-defying? If I'd known he had this up his sleeve, I would have held back." Silver Moon Douluo was in a difficult position. "I can't very well use a Soul Skill to really attack him, can I? Otherwise, those two old dragons really will skin me alive."
The lightning dragon raised its head and roared at the sky, then lifted a claw flashing with lightning and swiped at Silver Moon Douluo with thunderous force.
Silver Moon Douluo looked confident at first, thinking she could easily block the dragon's claw with one hand. But the instant it actually came down, her expression changed drastically.
"Wait, this power-"
The claw descended like a mountain, slamming Silver Moon Douluo straight down and smashing her body into the ground, leaving a huge crater.
The dragon roared again, seemingly venting its own rage. Bang! Bang! Its claw smashed into the crater again and again as though its life depended on it. Heavenly lightning rampaged, leaving everyone present staring in shock.
After all, from the looks of it, the old lady seemed frail enough to be blown over by a gust of wind. Could she really withstand those blows?
That sheer force made it feel as though the claw could smash even the sky apart.
"Was Elder Cai going easy on him?"
An elderly man nearby hurriedly said, "Going easy, my ass. She simply underestimated him and thought Yu Longyue's strength wasn't enough to match one of her hands. Instead, he slammed her straight down."
After a few more blows, the dragon was abruptly forced back by an immense power. Silver Moon Douluo stood in the crater, her former air of an expert gone. Her hair was disheveled, her entire body looked scorched by lightning, and golden arcs still rampaged across the surface of her body.
But what drew even more attention was that she was now wearing Battle Armor, and she raised a hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.
Three-Word Battle Armor!
"This is bad. Elder Cai is completely furious. We can't let this nonsense continue." The people beside her broke into a sweat. "Quick, call the pavilion master..."
"I've shown you restraint time and again, and you dare..." Silver Moon Douluo flew into a rage. She raised a hand toward the dragon, about to take him down once and for all.
The next second, a young man in white suddenly appeared in front of Silver Moon Douluo and reached out to push her hand back down.
"Outrageous! It was one thing to attack a junior, but you even used your Battle Armor?"
Silver Moon Douluo, who had let the beating go to her head, finally calmed down somewhat and realized she had gone too far. She hurriedly dismissed her Battle Armor.
"Pavilion master..."
